Merry Christmas to you Mark, and everyone else on this site. Build a nice fire and enjoy your families and friends who are nearby.
We will be visiting my mom (93 years old) tonight at the home where I was raised, and my Dad tomorrow who is 91 and lives just down the road (about 40 miles). My girls are in Costa Rica learning Spanish and away from home for Christmas for the first time in their lives. One is 18, the other is 21. We will miss them and all the energy they bring to the holidays, maybe we can Skype!
